WHAT TO DO ON A DAILY BASIS AS A POULTRY FARMER AND CHICKEN OWNER

As a poultry farmer, Caring for  chickens is pretty easy if you know what to do at right time. Chicken have the same needs as most any other animal. In this article we'll tell you what you should do daily to make your poultry birds healthy and strong, as well as other nuances of chicken husbandry.

WHAT TO DO DAILY TO MAKE YOUR BIRDS HEALTHY

1. Keep feeders and waterers full.
Make sure the waterer is clean. Chickens will be less inclined to drink dirty water, and a dehydrated bird can very quickly become ill or die.
Check to make sure they all look active, bright and healthy. Make an appointment with your vet if they don't.
Collect and refrigerate eggs, pointy side down for maximum freshness.
If you've opened the coop door to let your chickens out, always be sure to close and secure it at dusk (once they've all returned!) to make sure predators can't get in. (Tip: if you have a cell phone that allows you to set a recurring alarm, try that as a reminder.)
Keep in mind that you CAN leave your chickens alone for a few days provided they have enough food, water and space for the duration of your trip. The eggs they'll have laid in your absence should still be good to eat. Fresh eggs keep for several days without refrigeration. Surprised? Consider this: hens lay an average of 10-12 eggs per "clutch" (the group of eggs that a hen sits on to incubate). They lay one egg per day and at the end of a 10-12 day laying period they roll all the eggs together to incubate them. That means the egg laid on day 1 is still good enough on day 12 to become a living, breathing baby chick - so it should be good enough for you to eat too!

2. Egg Tip: Your eggs may have some slight traces of dirt or chicken feces on them. Resist the urge to scrub them clean! Outside the egg is a delicate membrane called the "bloom" that wards off bacteria and other foreign matter. Scrubbing will damage this membrane. If you're one of those Type A people that needs perfect-looking eggs, rub them with your fingers very gently under warm water. Then, wash your hands thoroughly

3. Make sure you clean the coop at when due. if your chicken lives in a dirty  environment, this can attract germs and this can cause illness to your birds. Always make your chicken house clean. The will help in preventing diseases and germs.

4. Study your birds everyday, this will help you to detect sick birds . when you discover any sick bird among your chicken, quickly take it out from the flocks and isolate such bird, so as not to infects others. Treat the sick chicken for day and monitor it health ontill such bird is fully recovered.

5. Give your Chicken right feed. Poultry feed is one of the most important aspect of poultry business, your chicken need right feed to grow fast and healthy, you must look for right composition of poultry feed ingredients, your chicken need protein, calcium, Viber, and energy to be healthy and strong. When next you are looking for chicken feeds make sure all these are present in your chicken feed.

WHO IS JESUS ?

The truths about Jesus are so foundational and crucial that almost every spiritual information or revelation revolves around it.
The name JESUS, is the Greek form of Hebrew word JEHOSHUAH OR JOSHUA. It signifies " Saviour ", or "Jehovah save'. No one ever bore this name with so much justice, nor so perfectly fulfilled the significant of the name, as Jesus Christ, who saves from sin and hell, and has married Heaven for us by the price of his blood. It was given to Him by divine appointment, as the proper name for the saviour so long desired. The name CHRIST, meaning the Anointed One", The Messiah", was His official name. As a Christian , we must all know some foundation truths about Jesus and the honour attached to His name.

HONOURED WITH SPECIAL NAME
The fact that Jesus humble Himself and submitted Himself to shameful death on the Cross earned Him an exalted name , the name which is above all other names. At the mention of Jesus , demons, sicknesses, diseases , situations or bad circumstances bow. All requests directed to God in His Name (JESUS) are honoured by Him and He gives answers according to His will. The name is the surest foundation upon which other spiritual structures are built. This is the only wonderful name mentioned amongst men bringing about salvation. It is otherwise known as Emmanuel, Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Everlasting Father, the mighty God. The name JESUS , spell absolute and total freedom indeed.

FOUNDATION TRUTH ABOUT JESUS
Jesu is the son of God whose mysterious birth was announced by an angel. He is a clear demonstration of divine favour as bestowed upon virgin Mary , His mother , and the entire household as well. He is God revealed in the flesh. Through Jesus all things were created, whether visible or invisible ( Hebrews 1:2, Colossians 1:16-18). His earthly ministry was noted for miracles, signs and winders, as well as a life of holiness, integrity and power.
He became our substitution for sins, we who were hitherto condemned to death by the law. He bore all the penalties including death on the shamefully cross of Calvary for the sins of mankind. He then rose from the dead on the third day and then returned to Heaven to prepare a place for those who believe in Him .
Those who know God by his name are not only strong but also full of great works including the divine ability to resist every temptation of the devil.

HOW TO FREE CHICKEN COOP (HOUSE) FROM RODENT

Rodent are enemy of poultry farm, if care is not taken they can kill birds. Rats and mice in our chickens coops have to be one of the nastier aspects for raising backyard chickens. But I’m here to tell you that it can be prevented! Rodents in a coop do a lot more damage than just eating your feed. Rats have been known to chew on tail feathers, crack and eat eggs, and even eat little baby chicks! They also spread filth and carry parasites and diseases that can be transmitted to your flock.

THESE ARE TIPS FOR A RODENT FREE COOP
There some simple tips to keep your chickens in a rodent free coop

1. Deny the access
The first thing you need to do is prevent the rats from getting into to your coop, Install 1/4 or 1/2 inch hardware cloth around the coop. You’ll want to attach to coop and bury as a perimeter about 10 – 12 inches underground. This will keep digging rodents from tunneling into the coop. Next take that same hardware cloth and use it as cover for all the coop windows and other openings to prevent them from sneaking in that way into the coop.

2. Natural Repellents

Rats and co detest mint – a little planted around your coop can be a great deterrent. I’ve also heard of people using essential oils for this job but I think that would be a much more costly way to prevent them

3. Get a killer on the job

People have been keeping barn cats since there were barns. But a good ratter dog can be helpful too. My Australian Shepherd caught a few in our early years of keeping a backyard flock. My cat was more of a Garfield; he wouldn’t have chased a mouse or a rat for anything. Also to note even if you have a cat for rodent patrol, you’ll need to feed and water him – they are not care free.

4. Don’t feed them.

The rodents are looking for easy meals. Don’t leave food out over night. Make sure the coop is no dirty with leftover chicken feeds, because this will always attract rodents.
